The Senate has removed Senator Ali Ndume as Chief Whip.
Ndume was sacked on Wednesday, July 17, after a voice vote announced by the Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
All Progressives Congress (APC) members of the Senate Caucus endorsed Ndume’s removal as Senate Chief Whip during plenary.
Tahir Mungono (Borno North) was immediately announced to replace him.
In a letter addressed to the Senate Caucus by the national leadership of the ruling party, the APC asked Ndume to resign his membership of the APC and join any opposition party of his choice.
The letter was signed by the party’s national chairman, and Secretary, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and Barrister Ajibola Bashiru.
